Rachel Dratch Biography

Rachel Dratch is an actress, comedian, and writer, best known for her work as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) from 1999 to 2006. She quickly became a beloved figure in comedy for her unique comedic style, which blends physical humor, quirky characters, and sharp wit.

A Second City alumnus, Dratch had her breakthrough during her time on "SNL," where she became famous for embracing the absurd and making even the most awkward situations laugh-out-loud funny. She is perhaps best known for her portrayal of the awkward, endearing character of "Debbie Downer," a role that became an iconic part of the show's history. Dratch's comedic range included everything from impersonations to original characters that showcased her versatility and skill in sketch comedy.

Beyond "SNL," Dratch has had a successful career in television and film. She appeared in numerous sitcoms, including "30 Rock," where she played the role of a self-absorbed version of herself, and "Parks and Recreation," where she had a recurring role. Dratch also appeared in several films, including "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" and "Click." n 2022, she made her Broadway stage debut in "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive" for which she earned a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play nomination. She is the host of the podcast Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch where she discusses stories of the unexplained, the eerie and the other-worldly.

Dratch is also a talented writer having co-authored the memoir "Girl Walks into a Bar...: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle," in which she reflects on her personal life, her career in comedy, and her unexpected journey to motherhood later in life. The book was well-received for its humor, honesty, and candidness.
